UNDERGROUND

Rule a nation at NationStates. The theory and choices are somewhat limited, which is the excuse I'm giving for how my nation is doing, but at least the discussion is sometimes interesting.

Ask questions, answer questions, vote on answers, get points at Yahoo! Answers. See how I'm wasting my time.

Fight, loot, and experience the java-based MMORPG Runescape. Graphics aren't as good as, say, World of Warcraft, but you can play much longer for free. See how I'm doing so far.

Read and write about everything, or rather Everything2. Vote things up or down, get experience, a remarkable idea to encourage writing. See my original account, before I got banned for writing nonsense, and my subsequent, much less active account.

A few pages from my sketchbook destined for the Louvre (or not).

X-Men, from Marvel Comics. Excellent (usually) story-lines and art not often found on children's TV...but DC's Kingdom Come puts it to shame.

Anime. Not your everyday cartoon. From Japan, animation covering everything from warfare philosophy to poignant love stories.

Magic: the Gathering. A card game of wits, strategy, and (because of its brilliant marketing strategy) incredible amounts of consumer dollars.

Discworld and Realms of the Dragon. Two LPMuds: a version of a virtual world built into a computer, where virtual people live their virtual lives, developing their virtual identities.
